The doctors over at the famous Palmetto General Hospital in Miami, Fl prescribed me this Antibiotic right after i finished my dose of bactrim which the same doctor gave me for Mrsa that i caught in the gym. The Perscibed the Cipro because they said that they had also found e coli in my culture. Well, as soon as that cipro prescription was over ''literally after the last pill'' I thought my left arm would have to be amputated. I went back to the doctor to check out this pain ''which was right under the mrsa infection spot which was gone by now'' they doc took some blood, did some mri/ultrasound and told me i had nothing and prescribed me some anti-inflammatory. After some research I found out that the Cipro had damaged my ulnar nerve and that I may never get full strength and mobility in my left hand again. 2 yrs later i still have tightness and lack of strength in my left thumb. Avoid this medicine! Read More Read Less

I have been using this drug for only 7 days. The only side effect I have experienced is flatulence. I cannot rate its effectiveness at this point.

By far the worst antibiotic I have ever taken. I was given a super strong does for a very mild urinary tract infection. I have felt dizzy, lightheaded, anxious, and pretty much every side effect and I will NEVER take this medication again.

Dizzy, anxiety, paranoid, tender breast, sick to my stomach. Sun burned lips prior to taking Ciprofloxacin - would not heal. I felt I was going crazy. I will visit the doctor next week to find out if the urinary tract infection is cured.
